Euro & hide from my buck

Here's my euro & tanned hide from my flintlock buck. Both done by me.

 

Very nicely done Ryan!! Not sure If I congratulated you on your buck or not so If I didn't congratulation's sir!!

 

Very cool!

One of these years I should do a hide.

 

That is awesome!! Came out really nice from the looks of it.

 

Looks great!! Any chance for a writeup on the tanning process?

I would be interested as well, Ryan. Turned out awesome, and that rack looks even bigger than it did on FB. Congrats, again!

 

Looks great, Ryan. Can I have the tail?

 

Nice work?

 

awesome work!

 

Looks great congrats!

 

THanks guys. Here's the quick procedure run down for those that asked.

Hide tanning procedure-Follow the instructions on the orange bottle of tanning solution. The end.

Skin and flesh the hide. Fleshing sucks.
Salt & let sit overnight.
Brush off old salt, add fresh salt & let sit overnight again.
Make a salt solution & let soak overnight.
Rinse off salt solution & “thin skin” the hide. This sucks 3x worse than fleshing.
Wash hide in dish liquid, rinse & hang to dry.
While still soft & manageable, apply warm tanning solution to hide. Fold over onto itself for 12-16 hrs, then unfold and let dry over the next few days while pulling working the hide as it does. If any spots get too stiff, use warm water until soft again and add more solution.

Hte bottle did a good job laying out htese steps in more details, the fleshing & "thin skinning" really are a tedious pain in the arse.

 

So your saying I should just pay to have it done? LOL

LOL, thats what I read too :D

I do my own euro mounts though.


Nice rybo, looks great. Congrast on the FL buck!

 

Yeah I think I am good paying someone else to do it but I have done my own European mount and that isn't too bad.

 

nice work.
